Problem with CUDA driver version 5.0.24 on MacBook Pro 2012 Fix

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and CUDA 5 Toolkit Installation Guide

SVGALIBS - Graphics Library

This library is a Linux graphics library and thus will not work on windows (I have tried very briefly on finding a way but could not for the reason that Windows does not have X11/xorgs/linux tty devices). The program needs to be run on a Linux machine because it is using svgalibs which is an archaic way to display stuff on the linux screen (from quick google search on the svga library).

Nvcc cannot find header files

a.k.a. Dun Goofing where nvcc locates its header files - as experienced by Neil Guzman

Find nvcc.profile (usually located in "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\bin") and replace everything inside it with this (if you have not changed it before): 


TOP              = $(_HERE_)/..

PATH            += $(TOP)/open64/bin;$(TOP)/nvvm;$(_HERE_);$(TOP)/lib;

INCLUDES        +=  "-I$(TOP)/include" "-I$(TOP)/include/cudart" "-IZ:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/include" $(_SPACE_) 

LIBRARIES        =+ $(_SPACE_) "/LIBPATH:$(TOP)/lib/$(_WIN_PLATFORM_)" cudart.lib

CUDAFE_FLAGS    +=
OPENCC_FLAGS    +=
PTXAS_FLAGS     +=

The most important part to note is: "INCLUDES += ..."

What you want to put is "-IC:/PATH/TO/THE/INCLUDE/FILES", which in my case was: "-IZ:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/VC/include".

Hope this helps anyone, as it insanely irritated me as changing up the environment path on windows did nothing.


Dynamically Allocated Shared Memory

Here is a roundabout way of working around the shared memory limitations of your graphics card. The idea is to send in chunks that your kernel can handle, then keep on sending chunks until there are none to be sent. The address being sent is also being shifted based on the chunk size. 

   CHUNKSIZE = 512;
   shared_ = CHUNKSIZE * sizeof(SimBody);
   while (chunks > 0)
   {
       BodyArray ba = { &arr.array[index], CHUNKSIZE };
       SimCalc <<< numBlocks_, numThreads_, shared_ >>>(ba);
       cudaThreadSynchronize();
       SimTick <<< numBlocks_, numThreads_,  shared_ >>>(ba, timeStep);
       cudaThreadSynchronize();
       index += CHUNKSIZE;
       --chunks;   
   }
   chunks =  arr.size / CHUNKSIZE + 1;
   index = 0;
